He is now head chef of the Rabbit hotel, which boost a 3AA Rosettes rating.
Niall’s first experience in a kitchen was working at his father's kebab shop growing up. Upon graduating from culinary school, which included one year studying in Egypt, Niall worked under Paul Rankin at several of his restaurants including at the acclaimed Cayenne (*). This experience helped hone Niall's skills and refine his culinary style, leading him to later become the head chef at the Mourne Seafood Bar in Belfast, named as one of the Top Place To Eat in Belfast in 2014.
Niall's calm and collected demeanour, combined with his experience serving hundreds of covers per service, has helped him develop a unique and exciting menu that he hopes will impress the judges, and honour the athletes from Northern Ireland.
